Went for 38 week check up

They found sugar in my urine … what does this mean? Is it bad?

I did a sneakpeak, any guesses

I feel confident in the test but would like some guesses as well

Valid annoyance?

My uniform at work was too big for me before I was pregnant (I was due to order new ones after loosing weight but found out I was pregnant so kept them), so I feel like I wasn’t ’showing’ to a lot of people at work.

I’m now 33 weeks pregnant and look very obviously pregnant and I’m sick of someone every day saying “wow baby has come out of no where” “you’re so big now, it’s come from no where” “wow you’re really showing”.

I even had “are you sure there’s not 3 babies in there?”.

I just feel like it’s so rude that people keep commenting on my body, just because I’m having a baby, surely that doesn’t give people the right?! It’s also upsetting as I don’t feel my best atm anyway so people daily telling me this is dragging me down but I’m not sure if it’s me being too sensitive or not?!

TTC baby number 2

My daughter is 21 months and I want to start trying for baby 2 after she turns 2. How long did it take everyone to conceive for second baby?

Struggling!

30+6 with my first baby and wow .. I seem to have hit a wall, mentally and emotionally. Have been struggling with PGP since about 15 weeks but thought I had gotten into a bit of a rhythm with it, but this week everything seems to be going wrong.
Struggling with the sudden surge of emotions and feelings of stress with work (secondary teacher) and just all round feeling a bit rubbish.
Is this normal? Desperately trying to enjoy the last stretch of pregnancy but finding it difficult!
Any suggestions of stress relievers whilst still working?

Glucose

My glucose was 123 < 135 and I’m not sure if that means I passed?? Hopefully yes 🙌

Gestational diabetes testing!

I refused to drink the glucose syrup stuff because I’ve suffered with HG since I was 6 weeks and KNEW I wasn’t going to be able to fast or keep it down.

I refused the test in my other pregnancies but this time, I said I’d only do it by doing the finger prick test- and I was happy to pay to do it.

They obliged, and so today I start the monitoring!
Omg, 4 pricks to the finger for 5 days and I’m so glad I opted for this because it does not hurt one bit!!!
Nor do I have to spend a day in hospital 😂

My midwife at my booking appointment said the syrup was the only way to do the test but I knew it wasn’t… 😏
